Programming Applications & Frameworks 1. Compare and contrast declarative and imperative paradigms. Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Imperative programming is a programming paradigm that uses statements that change a program’s state. 2. Discuss the difference between procedural programming and functional programming. In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the application of functions, in contrast with the procedural programming style that emphasizes changes in state. 3. Explain the Lambda calculus and Lambda expressions in functional programming. Lambda calculus is a framework developed by Alonzo Church in 1930s to study computations with functions. Function creation − Church introduced the notation λx.E to denote a function...
